Bulk and Spike added to Nick.com Power Rangers Samurai section

Bulk and Spike have been added to the characters section of the Power Rangers Samurai part of Nick.com website. Spike is confirmed to be Skull's son, but no sign of who the mother is. Hopefully Skull will make a cameo.

Now on Rangerboard it has gone to debate on how can Skull have a teenage son, picking on the point that he has armpit hair, he has to be 16 or 17. And that would make his birth year 1993, when the show started. Now, Skull could had married a single mother and his personality could had rubbed off on Spike. OR Skull fathered a child while his tenure on the show and no one ever knew. I say, get over it.

Poll Results: Female Green / Pink isn't Abare Killer/ Big One as sixth / Sixth Gokaiger transfromaitons

Do you think the sixth ranger would...

Turn into Extra heroes too 124 (53%)
All of the Above 107 (45%)
Turn into Rangers only 72 (30%)
Summon Rangers 56 (24%)
I think it would be really cool if Sixth Gokaiger would turn into old sixth rangers and summon Extra heroes and female extra rangers. Like for example, if he became Go-On Gold, he could summon Go-On Silver.

Which Green Ranger would have you rather gotten a skirt for Gokaiger?

Other 77 (37%)
Shurikenger 57 (27%)
Time Green 44 (21%)
Green Sai (Liveman) 43 (20%)
Elephant Ranger 39 (18%)

I added Elephant Ranger because I basically wanted to do this picture above. I also know Shurikenger wouldn't have made sense (since he's a sixth ranger and all), but the reason I added him---my friend Jill and I made the big mistake of mistaking his Fire Mode for being female because the picture above. You got to admit, the above picture looks sort of female. That is why I have the Fire Mode in the big picture above.

Do you like that Big One is not considered a 'Sixth Ranger' but AbareKiller may be?

No 110 (54%)
Yes 91 (45%)

Which you don't like the most?
Yellow as Big One 65 (25%)
Pink isn't AbareKiller 153 (59%)
Neither 73 (28%)

Nothing major but worth a look. Reference to Japan.

Power Ranger Samurai - Bulk Returns

It seems that Skinny Mack, now called Spike, is Bulk's nephew. No clue on who his mother is. I don't know neither if Paul S. will be full-time cast member, seeing by what he said on Facebook about coming back and forth to New Zealand, I guess Bulk will be a special guest star, appearing time from time.

And for whoever thinks this is a fan film, it is legit:

Well what we decided was that Bulk is my uncle, and Skull is my father.

Phonetic Names: How the Japanese say Colors

UPDATED 1/30/11
I knew about Katakana, I just forgot. Thank you for the clarification!
You know how when the warriors of Super Sentai say their hero names in the roll-call? Well, some of the names have the colors in English and because they are Japanese, their accents make the way they say sound unique, here I highlight all the colors:
アカレンジャー
Aka Ranger
Aka means Red in Japanese, hence Aka Red (from Boukenger vs. Super Sentai) is Red Red. It sounds like Akarenja. Most Red Warriors in Super Sentai use the English word 'Red' and the Katakana for Red. アカ is the Katakana for Aka.

ゴーカイレッド,
Gokai Red
Sounds like Gokaireddo. When most of the warriors say 'red', they say 'reddo.' レッド is the Katakana for Red.

アオレンジャー
Ao Ranger,
Ao means Blue in Japanese. It sounds like Aorenja. アオ is Katakana for Ao.

ゴーカイブルー
Gokai Blue
Sounds like Gokaiburu. When most of the warriors say 'blue', they say 'buru.' ブルー is the Katakana for Blue.

キレンジャ
Ki Ranger
Ki means Yellow in Japanese. It sounds like Kirenja. キレ is the Katakana for Ki.

ゴーカイイエロー,
Gokai Yellow
Sounds like Gokaiiero. When most of the warriors say 'yellow,' they say 'iero' which sounds like 'arrow.' When females say it, they shout it in their high voice. Men say it less than enthusiastic. イエロー is the Katakana for Yellow.

モモレンジャー
Momo Ranger ,
Momo means Pink in Japanese. It sounds like Momorenja. モモ is the Katakana for Momo.

ゴーカイピンク
Gokai Pink
Sounds like Gokaipinku. When most heroines say 'pink,' they say 'pinku.' Some do say Pink with a emphasis on the P. ピンク is the Katakana for Pink.

ミドレンジャー,
Mido Ranger
Mido means Green in Japanese. It sounds like Midorenja. ミドレ is the Katakana for Mido.

ゴーカイグリーン
Gokai Green
Sounds like Gokaigurin. It kind of sounds like 'Guh-reen.' グリーン is the Katakana for Green.

ゴセイブラック,
Gosei Black
Sounds like Gosei Burakku. When most of the warriors say 'black', they say 'Burakku.' ブラック is the Katakana for Black. Ninja Black just said 'black' like most Americans did because he was Japanese-American.

シンケンゴールド Shinken Gold
Sounds like Shinken Gorudo. Sometimes warriors say 'Gorudo' or 'Gold.' ゴールド is the Katakana for Gold.

ゴーオンシルバー
G0-On Silver
Sounds like Go-onshiruba. Most warriors say 'Shiruba' for Silver, which sounds like 'Shiba'. シルバー is the Katakana for Silver.

ゲキバイオレット
Geki Violet
Sounds like Geki Baioretto, he said 'Baioretto' for Violet. イオレットis the Katakana for Violet.

ガオホワイト
Gao White
Sounds like Gao Howaito, most heroines say 'Howaito' for White, which sounds like 'White-to.' ワイト is Katakana for White. Only heroines that were white, had the name 'white.' All males so far that have been white warriors didn't have the word 'white' in their names like Big One, Kibaranger, GekiChopper, AbareKiller and DekaBreak.

Transliterations of how some of the Auxiliary Rangers pronounce their names:
Dragon Ranger = Doragon Renjā
Kiba Ranger = Kiba Renjā
King Ranger = Kingu Renjā
Time Fire = Taimufaiyā
Kabuto Raiger = Kabutoraijā
Kuwagata Raiger = Kuwagaraijā
Abare Killer = Abare Kirā
Deka Break = Deka Bureiku
Deka Master = Deka Masutā
Magi Shine = Majishain
Magi Mother = Majimazā
Geki Chopper = Geki Choppa
Gosei Knight = Gosei Naito

Gokaiger: Legacy War, Villains and Gokai Oh

Someone commented that this is called "Legacy War' and I checked out a Japanese board and they said the same thing.

I call it Ranger War because it is like the Rider War of Kamen Rider Decade.
